Washington Apple Pi

Another Object of Techno-Lust

Aside from blazing fast Power Macs and PowerBooks, what else is
there to want? How about a large, very bright flat panel display,
such as the new Apple Studio Display? Occupying a fraction of the
desk space of most monitors, the Apple Studio Display left most
people silent: they wanted it, but had trouble trying to justify
replacing their existing, perfectly good monitor. Here's a hint: if
you have more than one video card, your Mac will be more than happy
to support multiple monitors. And this monitor will take up less
space than any other second monitor.

Seen from the front, the Apple Studio Display is bright
enough to seriously confuse an automatic camera: the screen
is nicely exposed, but most of the rest of the picture is
underexposed. Aside from being bright, with crisp images,
the display takes up very little desktop space: if you can't
justify it for some other reason, tell your boss you need
the extra desk space.

The translucent plastic casing is most obvious when seen
from behind. While nobody disliked this style case, there
was a raging debate about its origins: is this a Retro look,
a tribute to the 1950s? Or is this a Techno look, an
American version of the European art trend?
